  1. Can you turn off the IPC or dim it?

    That's only the interior lights when the doors are open. The cargo light in the bed still lights up. The most useless to me anyway is the cargo light switch. It comes in with the doors, so why do we need it. They could have made a dimmer for the dash instead. That's only for the when the doors...
  2. Can you turn off the IPC or dim it?

    No work around. I just bought a designated black hand towel and put it over it when I'm in generator mode. They should update the dimmer so it'll go completely dark, but for now it's a no go.
  3. Ford Performance 20 inch wheels.

    On a side note, is there anything we can coat them with to make them easier to wash? I've tried a few of the ceramic sprays, but doesn't seem like it helps much, you are correct, it always seems like they look dirty.
  4. New to F150

    Even in that trim level the camera button should show a rear view while driving down the road if I'm not mistaken, my dad's 301A does that I believe. You can also go to forescan and enable it to stay on at speed I think.
  5. Police Engine Idle

    Yeah, like others have said, just hit the bottom two buttons on the keypad. It already won't go into gear if you have the keys in your pocket, so that's a bonus. Very handy in a carjacking, if you are unable to overpower the subject, you can just get out and let him have it.
  6. WHAT DO YOU THINK? Trailer Hitch Extended Rack System

    I think this is a very good design, keep it simple to keep the cost down and logical case use, you got a winner. Especially being in the form factor of a wagon where you can just unhitch the pin and go.
  7. Where the Ford LOGO came from...

    This is very cool, I like history and heritage. I know to some they're just vehicles, but I like seeing how they came to be, their origins and how they stemmed from the tractor, a workhorse in the field. Pretty cool.
  8. Starting Engine from a Stop

    True, but if you're going to do this you could probably just have purchased a regular 3.5, the reason for the hybrid is to get the weight of the vehicle up to speed for fuel economy. You are always getting electric boost whether the engine is on or off. I do agree, there is a lack of smoothness...
  9. Skipping 2nd gear even in Sport mode

    That's good info, I wonder if you installed a pedal commander type device if that would change that any? I suppose it would but those thresholds you said would still be there.
  10. PowerBoost MPG - WTH??

    Cold definitely hurts the mpg. However I wouldn't even bother looking too much into the mpg until you get way more miles on it. Mine got better around 9500 miles. That being said a V8 at 78mph will probably do better. City and around town suburb type 60mph kinda the PB will be much better. Still...
  11. Help with tire selection

    Well, I rear ended a car the other day so I'm waiting on a new bumper and insert, cruise control sensor recalibration so I'll wait till I get it back before I do it. I also got black for the tail pipe, and F-150 chrome emblems. I'm pondering red Powerboost emblems or dipping them as well, but it...
  12. Help with tire selection

    I kind of see what you mean, they kind of look swollen so to speak. I bought some red plasti dip, I just haven't put it on yet, I like it because if I don't like it down the road I can peel it off relatively easy, I just have to get out and put it on.
  13. Do you REALLY NEED 4×4?

    Each person's geographic location and use case will determine if you need it. For me, I do live in Texas but there are times when I need to launch a boat on a slippery ramp, pull a 40 ft dead tree down to the pasture, One time on the way home during a thunderstorm a tree fell across the road and...
  14. Spare Tire orientation

    I hadn't noticed that, I did notice that the tread pattern was obviously different, but not looked at the size yet. I guess in theory if you don't have it in 4x4 it might be okay for a few miles. Just another way they're saving money I imagine.
  15. ProPower on Board is Patented

    But the idiot didn't put it in the hybrid tundra. Dumb. They dropped the ball on the tundra.
  16. Using the Trans for Engine Braking?

    I did notice when I geared down with mine, It did not have as much engine braking as my 5.4 V8, obviously due to the smaller engine and probably more influential was the turbos which probably reduce any engine braking that was left after the smaller engine. That being said since it has regen...
  17. What in the world...?

    For fuel economy when they're closed, extra cooling when they're open, and faster warm up in the morning they will stay closed. As a bonus when they're closed for fuel efficiency they also keep large bugs from denting your fins on your radiator. In the past I've always put window screen in mind...
  18. Rats in a new Powerboost

    For the short term I would use a few old-fashioned traps to get rid of the immediate offenders, then sprinkle cayenne powder around the engine bay, leave the hood open at night (They don't like the no privacy). You might try one of those motion strobe lights, I've seen them wired into the...
